snip or snap

this is not a debate about removing healthy fan leaves!!! i have some crispy lamp dried fan leaves that need to be removed but the stems are still holding fast as the title implies which is less stressful snipping or snapping at the node i am in week six of 12/12 and though the problem has been corrected as we all know the damage is done . my concern has to do with the potentual for mold as the crispy tips are touching nugs and the leaves at this point are 50% useless any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated thanx whitefrost

bump i though it was a valid question never burnt a leave before and not a fan of stressing my ladies

If leaf has > 50% damage I would remove it to allow for better light penetration. If you have burnt tips and edges but the inner part is green leave them alone.

to me if its something that needs come off. If im trimming ill snip ,if the leaf is dieing ill leave it till it either falls off or i can just pull it off gentlly..[video=youtube;xYq7CuVpAeo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xYq7CuVpAeo[/video]

im not a big fan of jorge but this makes sense to me..

I think snip beats snap every time, as long as you keep your snippers clean.

thanks fellas
